ABANDONED HIS FAMILY,
F&nk Lamoreaux Writes ttote to
jkis Wife Tlmt She Can Sell House
hold Goods nnd Leaves Town In
Her Absence Family In Want.
.'Frank W. Luniureuux, u teamster,
whoso homo was ut the corner oC Archbald-
Htroct nnd Tenth avenue, aban
doned his family on Saturday morning,
departing from the city, leaving his
wife and children In distressingly des
titute circumstance.".
Lamoroaux was employed as team
ster for Patrick McGarry, the- coal
dealer. On Friday he received his
monthly wages,'- and during the day
visiting the stores where he traded, he
settled his accounts.
That night Mrs. Lamoroaux went to
.the assistance of a sick neighbor, re
maining at her bedside until morning.
Lamorenux, himself, arose earlier than
was his custom, and arousing his young
pon, rather hurried him ort to work
bpforo his usual leaving hour. When
the lad was gone, the father packed
his belongings, that Is his clothing, old
and new, Into a grip, and without any
Intimation to the neighbors he depart
ed. V. Mrs. .Lamoreuu-x,. returning some lime
afterwards, expected to Had her bus
hand at home. But the house was de
serted. She was somewhat disturbed,
but her real dismay came when she
found' a note In her husband's hnud--wrlttng,
lying in a Conspicuous place
in the room. In substance the note
said that her husband was going away
from her, and that she could sell the
"things," meaning the household goods.
When Mrs. Lumoreaux recovered, she
notllled relatives, who began to trace
the missing husband. Inquiry was
made at the railroad stations, but there
was no knowledge there that he had
'purchased a ticket. The supposition is
that Lamereuux. left town via the
trolley. .
Lamorenux's motive In going away is
not known. None of his relatives can
explain his action. His family sorely
need his support, as he earned only
sufficient to meet his needs, and was
obliged 'to somewhat limit ills wants.
Nothing has been heard from him since
Ids 'departure.

FUNERAL OF HENRY BERRY.
Obsequies Attended by Many Young
Friends of the Deceased.
The late Henry Berry was yesterday
laid attest in the family plot in Peek
vllle cemetery.
The friends of the young man, whoso
untimely death caused deep-seated
grief, took their farewell of the de
ceased at the late home before the
funeral service was commenced. At 1
o'clock, Bev. Charles I.ee, of the First
Presbyterian church, started the last
sad services. On the completion of the
burial service, the cortege, which was
unusually large, moved toward Peek
vllle. Three branches of the Odd Fel
lows were represented Olive Leaf
lodge, Lackawanna encampment, and
the Patriarchs Militant; also the
Patriotic Order Sons of America. The
pall bearers were Itobert Frew, John
Button, "Wallace Illsted, Arraa Fidiani,
H. 13. May and II. lleynolds. There
were several handsome floral designs
from the societies and intimate friends
of the deceased.
"David Harum" Pleases.
"David Harum" was presented for
the first time in this city at the Grand
last night. The company, as a whole,
was acceptable, but there was not tho
action that Is an essential element in
an enjoyable Interpretation of the play.
Perhaps It was due to the appcrent lack
of enthusiasm of the audience that
made the evening somewhat chilling.
Charles II. Bradshaw, the unique, as
"David Harum," shone among the

A. E. JONES MAY RETIRE.
One of the Owners of the Review Re
ceives Flattering: Offer from a
Trenton Paper.
Albert K. Jones, one of the proprietors
of the Saturday ltevlew, the smart
weekly publication, has received a
flattering offer from one of the Trenton
dallies, which seems too tempting to re
ject. Tho offer asks Mr. Jones to accent
the position of advertising manager, at
a salary that does not usually go with
such positions. The paper Is tho oldest
established in Trenton and leads the
other papers In force and prestige. Tho
work Is what Mr. Jones Is happily
adapted to, having proved his success
in the field not alone at home, but
abroad. He has not decided us yet as
to the acceptance of the offer, but It
would not bo surnrlsing It he should
decide to. go to Trenton, as there are
opportunities there which could not be
expected In Carbondale,- no matter how
favorable things may be hero.
THE RUMMAGE SALES.
Enterprise for Benefit of Hospital
Has a Good Start Other Similar
Ventures.
The rummage sale, which Is being
conducted in the Armory building, on
North Main street, under tho patronage
of the ladles' auxiliary board of Kmer
geney hospital, was successfully opened
yesterday forenoon. The room was vis
ited by scores of persons during the
day, who were generous In their patron
age. Tlie side comprises a great collection
of articles, ranging from hatpins to
stoves. Many of the articles are above
tho class usually found at a rummage
sale, and may be purchased with de
cided advantage: there's no question as
to the bargains they offer.
The worthlucsb of the object need not
be dwelt upon, us the helpful factor
that Kmergency hospital is in this com
munity Is quite patent. The proceeds
which may be realized from the sale
will so towards purchasing a dressing
sterilizer, in order that the equipment
of the hospital may be the more com
plete, thereby Increasing the cfliclency
of tho institution.
There was a handicap yesterday,
which will no doubt be readily removed
when made known. Owing to the lack
of means of transportation, articles in
tended for the sale were not received
at the armory during the day. Now
that this need is made known, mer
chants, who have wagons at their dis
posal, will be quick to respond.
Tlie sale yesterday was in charge of
Jtesdames Frank K. Dennis, E. J. !Me
Hale, YV. IT. aiefiraw, J. J. O'Royle, W.
B. Stansbury, J. P. A. Tingley and K.
D. Lathrop.
Methodist Sale Realized $130.
The ladles of tlie First Methodist
church closed a successful rummage
sale yesterday that had been in pro
gress for a week in the Rox building,
on Church street. Tlie proceeds were
highly gratifying, $1110 being realized.
The success of tlie sale was quite com
plimentary to the ladies who were ac
tive In the enterprise.- "What articles
that were not sold were thoughtfully
turned over to the hospital sale by Mrs.
D.' AV. Humphrey and Miss Harriet
Pascop, who managed tho venture.
AT THE POOR FARM.
What a Visitor May See on a Trip
to the Almshouse.
As indicated in The Tribune, "Wed
nesday, -tlie cheerful tone nr the sur
roundings of the inmates at tlie Car
bondale almshouse in Greenfield was a
refreshing surprise to tlie representa
tives of tho press who accompanied tlie
directors on their inspection..
In placing credit for these conditions,
a big share must be bestowed on Stew
ard Jerry f.'lune, and Mrs. Clune, the
matron. No more conscientious pair
could hardly be found, while the inter
est they take in the welfare, of tho in
mates is quite parental. The sixteen
inmates all readily testify to this fact,
and all who wore aide to express them
selves were profuse In their acknowl
edgment or how Mi', and Mrs. Clune
tended to their wants and looked after
their comforts. Tho look of cheerful
contentment on their faces reflected
their feelings. The directors likewise
chared In tho grateful acknowledgments
of the inmates.
Aside from their hospitable care of
the inmates, Mr. and Mrs. Clune are
valuable factors iii the administration
of the affairs of the poor district by-
reason or their knowledge of agricul
tural pursuits. Path are so qualified In
this direction that the highest results
have followed their stay at the farm.
For the first time in years there Is now
considerable revenue from the sale of
farm produce. One Item alone, the sale
of K80 pounds of butter last year, will
sulllco to show the results of their
labors. This Is all the worthy of notice,
when It is recalled that the farm Is
quite barren and Is far from desirable
for. tho purposes for which It Is In
fended. It would be a wise thing to
dispobe of tho farm and procure a more
favorablo place, If only it half-decent
prlco could be secured, The stock on
tho farm was found to bo In exception
ally fine condition, and was the subject
of much favorablo comment from the
directors,
Tlie watchfulness and economy of tho
present poor board am so well estab
lished that, it is not necessary to dilate
on them at this time. Hut the Improve
ments which have been inudo at the
farm and almshouse the past year call
for more than passing notice, The most
important of these Is the sanitary sys
tem of plumbing that was installed In
the almshouse last fall. There was a
woeful condition of affairs before this
change, and this opo improvement
alone could bo considered a worthy
achievement, Tho witter fur tho system
Is supplied from a dam that provides
U pressure as strong as In certain parts
of this city. Tlie dam was built by
order of the directors., tho tupply being
furnished by springs, whoso source la
about l.L'O'l yards hack of the alma
house, Other neeeded Impioveuienls
were made about the almshouse which
had been sorely neglected.
An improvement thut Is called for at
the present time Is the erection of barns
to replace the somewhat dilapidated
ones which have been in service over a
tlthirter of a century. However, there
Is some division among tho directors as
to the expediency of this Improvement
atnJucoessdty, for ,1V year nt least, until
the debt of the district Is further re
duced, The already 'big reduction of
the district debt, several thousand dol
lars, Is perhaps tho most commendable
of the achievements of tho present
board.
It would be a commendable thing for
the taxpayers to visit Iho farm fre
quently, now that the pteasant weather
Is here. Tho directors would feel highly
pleased with 'such visits, while thu dis
play of Interest would bo greatly en
couraged In their efforts. The assur
ance ban bo given that a hospitable re
ception awaits every one who may visit
the farm, as ihe steward nnd matron
are-famed ifor their warm-hearted hos
pitality. On the other hand, the In
mates would be greatly cheered. The
party that visited tho farm on Tues
day spread a good deal of sunshine
among the Inmates, the entertainment
that was provided, such as It was, en
livening every one and making them
feel that everything was not sad and
sorrowful.
SOME OF OUR VISITORS.
JOHN COURIER MOItUIS, of Scran
ton, one lime editor, a lltoratteur and
conspicuous among the "Welsh bards of
this section, now one of the county
commissioners of Lackawanna, was at
the Harrison house yesterday,
Mr. Morris was here In connection with
the great big eisteddfod to be held In
Scranton soon, which promises to open
tlie eyes of the big men who are active
in elsteddfodau. AVlille Mr. Morris' mis
sion was of a business character, ho
found time to mingle socially with some
of the friends In Carbondale who were
glad of his enjoyable fellowship.
DAVID PIUTCHAItD, also of Scran
ton, -was here on the same mission. Mr.
Pritcliard is one of tho most active
among the enthuslustle workers for tho
success of the big musical competition,
which it Is intended to eclipse any prior
similar enterprise in this county.
"Dave," as Mr. Pritchard's friends call
him, (is right at home when busied In a
musical affair of this kind. Ills sun
shiny social side serves him well In this
work, as it aids him powerfully In his
business relations. Ho Is one of the
prominent Elks In Scranton, and can
boast of the highest respect and esteem
of his fellow-eitlzens in Scranton.
GKOItGK P. DICLE principal of the
State Normal school at East Strouds
burg, was in the city, yesterday. Ho
made an interesting V'lslt among the
pupils of the High school, the gradu
ates of tills year, particularly, present
ing to them some of the advantages of
a normal school education in their
equipment for life. Besides being ti pro
found scholar, Mr. Bible can lay claim
to be an educator of the highest class.
The success of the Stroudsburg Normal
school, which he has directed since its
establishment, is ample evidence of hla
ability in this direction.
LEE S. GILLESPIE, who has been In
the city since Friday, as the advance
representative of tlie Harry Jenkins
Comedy company, which will be here
next week, Is fragrant with the air of
the battlefields of tlie Philippines. He
is home only a short time, after having
assisted in the chases after Filipinos
and dodging bolos. Mr. Gillespie was a
trumpeter In one of tho companies of
the Twenty-seventh infantry, but this
didn't debar him from some lively .ex
periences with tlie natives. Mr. Gilles
pie has a magnificent physique, and
when covered with a soldier's uniform
it would strike terror to a whole band
of fighting Filipinos. His appearance
on the streets this week Is quite strik
ing. A. J. DUFFY, manager of tlie Ly
ceum and the Academy of Music in
Scranton, was in the city yesterday
afternoon, the guest of Manager Byrne,
of the Grand. Wherever Mr. Duffy goes
lie has a host of friends, and the greater
part of his visit yesterday was spent in
shaking hands and receiving tlie kind
greetings of his Carbondale 'friends.
Those in this city who rejoice in his
friendship watch with growing pride
the steady climb that Mr. Duffy is
making up the ladder or success and
with their good wishes they speed Ills
progress to the high plane that he is so
surely ascending. It might not bo amiss
to suggest that in all the country there
is no more successful theatrical man
ager for one of his years than is Mr.
Duffy, a fact that is tlie delight of his
Carbondale friends.

the
treatment for tlie delicate
Such a tonio and corrective is found in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, supplemented when
desired by tho medical counsel and advice of Dr. R. V. Pierce, whose long experience and great
success lias placed him at the head of specialists in the treatment and euro of diseases peculiarly
womanly. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a purely vegetable preparation, containing no alcohol
and being entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. It cannot disagree with the most
delicate constitution. It cures headache, nervousness, backache, sleeplessness and other ills by curing
the womanly diseases which cause these ailments. It establishes regularity, dries unhealthy drains,
heals inflammation and ulceration and enrcs female weakness. It makes weak women strong and
sick women well.
"When I commenced the use of your medicines I was quite run-down in strength; -was weak and tired most of
the time," writes Mrs. S. L. Tupper, o"f Sheboygan Palls, Wis. "After taking six bottles of Favorite Prescription1
ifnd six of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' I felt like a different person, and was able to do my work' without knowing--,
what it was to feel tired. My complexion was also greatly benefited."
"I feel that I would like to give a word of praise to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,"' writes Mrs. Katie
Oakes, of Grand Junction, Colo. "Had suffered with uteriuetrouble for four years and never found anything that .
did me more good than the ' Favorite Prescription.1 I have gained in flesh and feel better than I did when under
the doctor's care. Have the greatest faith in all of Dr. Pierce's medicines."
"I suffered for eight years with female weakness," writes Mrs. Kmtna 1'crrell, of Unity, N. C. "I have taken
three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which cured me. I have good health now."
'' I was troubled with congestion of the uterus and female weakness for five years," writes Mrs, Robert Kerwin)
of Albert, Hastings Co., Out. "Was so weak and nervous I could hardly do any work. Had severe pain in back,
also dizziness and pain in head. My heart would beat so hard and fast at times I would have to sit still till I got
all right again, but after taking four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and one of his 'Golden Medical
Discovery,1 I am entirely well."
Few women understand how closely tlie general physical health is linked with the local womanly
henlth. For this reason many of thobo who lull off in fiesh and grow sallow of skin waste time and
motley in treatments intended to develop the form and improve the complexion. Women who have
been 'cured of womanly ills by the use of "Favorite Prescription" have found that when the local
womanly health is established "tho general health is also restored. Tho body gains in llesh and the
complexion is improved. These fads prove the far reaching benefits which follow the use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. And these benefits are not temporary but permanent, fpr the cures
effected by this medicine are radical and complete, and the results arc as lasting as the cures themselves.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All letters are held as strictly
private, and the written confidences of women are guarded by the same strict professional privacy
observed by Dr. Pierce and his staff in personal consultations with weak and sick women at the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, IJuffalo, "NT. Y". Addresss Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, X. Y
" Favorite PrescripVion" makes weak women strong, sick women well. Accept no substitute for
the medicine which works wonders for weak women.
